Tynecastle Park will be the centre of attention when Hearts and Celtic lock horns in a highly-anticipated Premiership encounter. Hearts are on a five-game winning run in the national championship, though, the bookies still see them as underdogs in Sunday’s showdown. The good news for the hosts is that defender Craig Halkett has overcome his minor injury, while the likes of Ageu, Finlay Pollock, Frankie Kent, Ryan Fulton, and Calem Nieuwenhof remain in the treatment room.
The Hoops, on the other hand, suffered a shocking 2-0 loss to Dundee FC at the weekend. Given Hearts’ impressive winning run in the national championship, we do not believe that the reigning champions are capable of collecting more than one point from Sunday’s clash. Both Alistair Johnston and Kelechi Iheanacho are rated doubtful for the visiting team and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Sunday 26 October 2025 at 12:00.
